So assuming it goes straight up the center of Florida, is that worse for Miami? This is assuming the eye wall is hitting it, but not the actual eye.

Seems like you get the shittier wind side of the storm, and I'm not sure the surge is much different.

Only plus side might be that it'd weaken a bit, but Miami is so far south that I'm not sure that makes a difference either.

Newest models coming in. All gains made for the future of Florida last update appear somewhat erased again.
Once they finish updating the last few they'll update the times, but the tracks are different already.

Those were still the 8am models(the times are next to the actual model names). This is the 2pm update. Not looking too good...

One of my friends in Sebastian, FL bought a sailboat like 1 month ago. He's currently bailing to Texas for the week.

We may have to get a death count pool going. This looks like the type of thing where if you stay you die.

We're staying. If you don't hear from me by next Friday, +1 to the pool.

I won't be in my house, but I have pretty high confidence in the house I will be in. As much confidence as you can have! Just hoping that if it's a cat 4 when it gets to ft lauderdale, we're on the west side of the eye and it's a low cat4. Wish us luck!

I want videos if you are still alive afterward.

Wind forecasts from the Euro model. Florida is fucked. Georgia might be even more fucked as they're probably not built to withstand hurricanes at all.

There's also some nerdy weather forum talking about it. Looks like its starting to strengthen again. Might be the biggest hurricane anyone sees in this lifetime.

Soygen, i don't think irma believes FD(you are not a monk (or a hunter if you play wow)...st maartin & barbados both tried and failed miserably...stay safe though. i'd offer someone a place to stay, but i am most likely too far north for it to be a reasonable offer (~20 hr drive to Orlando from/To my house)
